Anti-aging Naturally is Better

Anti-aging Naturally is Better
When it comes to anti-aging people are willing to do most
anything to "turn back the clock". Everything except the
easiest solution ' Prevention! We all know, mostly do to
media hype, that the sun can cause us to age more rapidly.
Because of this knowledge, people have begun to be using
more and more sun block as their anti-aging tool.

Did you know that part of the anti-aging fight could start
with the foods you put in your body everyday? One of the
best anti-aging tools we can find is food with antioxidants.

Foods that contain Vitamins C and E should be part of your
daily food intake as well. Vitamins C and E are important
because they help fight free radicals, which are forms of
unstable oxygen that can render or damage healthy cell
function. These forms of oxygen are formed naturally by the
metabolism. We also produce them when we are exposed to
strong ultraviolet rays and air pollution such as smoke.
When these "free radicals" build up in our body they aid in
the progression of age and even in developing age related
diseases. So in the fight on anti-aging you will definitely
want to take in Vitamins C and E daily. But these aren't
the only nutrients you will want to take in daily for
anti-aging. You will need protein, calcium, and Vitamin D.
Making sure you get these much needed nutrients on a
regular if not daily basis can help with anti-aging.

There are several foods that rank high on the recommended
list for anti-aging foods because of their natural ability
to rid the body of toxins. One that kept coming up while
researching this topic was Blueberries. Several other foods
were listed even many other berries. But blueberries always
seemed to top the list of anti-aging foods, because they
are naturally high in anthocyanin. This is an antioxidant
found in their blue pigment.

This is not only good for anti-aging, but it help fight
cell damage, which could cause cancer, heart disease and
many other age related diseases. It is even suggested that
blueberries could reverse short -term memory loss and aid
in the improvement of motor skills.

Although blueberries ranked high on the anti-aging food
chart several, other fruits were highly recommended as
well. Kiwis for example are loaded with antioxidants and
fiber. Apples were recommended for healthier lungs.
Tangerines are believed to reinforce healthy bones and
cherries aid in preventing gout.

All of this is very important to consider when trying
discovering a natural anti-aging regimen, because when your
body is unhealthy you look and feel bad. When you look and
feel bad and run down your body will age.

So, I guess the bottom line here is...good nutrition is the
best solution to anti-aging. Naturally that is!
